An interesting take on it. 

I think our guns will beat their guns . That is too say a cracking game awaits. Still think it's us by 18 but it will be a topsy turvy affair. 

West Coast wouldn't want to suffer another player going down early....that'd be a damn shame ?

Maybe though if it's Kaos v Control footy the score will be 99 to 86 ..or something lol

Yep...Eagles to miss by 'that much ' ;)

    Beat them there in 2017.  Beat them there 5 weeks ago.

    We will beat them there on Saturday.

    goal kicking and forward delivery will determine it in the end methinks.

    Midfields will make it tough and it will be who takes the chances.

    WCE probably ahead of us in raw scoring power

    AFL.com.au has picked us by 7 points.

    Should be a really interesting game. We need to win the midfield well, like last time. If we do that, we should win. If the midfield battle is even, things could get uncomfortable.

    Spot on RD. JK is a gun (a completely overused word but justified in this case IMHO) and Meth Coke have probably finished top two and not outside the eight due to him. He's under-appreciated on the East Coast IMHO. All this is a long way of saying that if they get it in the middle and can move it quickly in the JK direction - we've got real problems. I love Frosty and Oscar, but they are no match for Kennedy. Therefore we need to cut it off at the source. Brayshaw needs to have a big day IMHO. He just might be the key. If he gets it 30 times inside the square, we win. He's the closest we have to a 'kill you' player (that is a guy who every time he gets it he kills you - aka Martin, Cyril, Pendles, Nathan Buckley and Voss). 

    Please Angus . . . play the game of your life Son.

    FWIW . . . Robbie Flower was probably our last 'kill you' player.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
